Sodobna IKT je lahko dobrodošla pomoč pri širjenju informacij in poučevanju. V pričujočem sestavku smo predstavili, kako IKT pomagajo pri širjenju znanja kot pomoč pri izbirnih predmetih Robotika v tehniki in Elektronika z robotiko.

Pri tem smo uporabili sistem Legomindstorms, ki je didaktično in cenovno ugodna rešitev. Sistem sestavljajo lego kocke, s pomočjo katerih lahko sestavimo »robote«. Najvažnejši del je mini računalnik RCX s senzorji, s pomočjo katerih robot zaznava okolje. Računalnik lahko programiramo v preprostem SimBot programskem sistemu ali pa v zahtevnejšem programskem orodju.

Učitelje, mladostnike ter njihove starše smo k sodelovanju pritegnili z organizacijo šolskih, regijskih ter državnih tekmovanj Legobum, problemsko usmerjenimi tehničnimi dnevi ter seminarji in srečanji za odrasle in mladino.

V projektu smo dodali vsebinam, ki se nahajajo v učbenikih, podporo na spletnem mediju, ki nosi dodatna in specialna znanja. Nekatere srednje šole omenjeno spletno stran in Legomindstorms komplete uporabljajo tudi za promocijo poklicev s področja tehnike kakor tudi pri pouku mehatronike, kar je celo preseglo zastavljene cilje projekta.

V naslednjih dveh letih nameravamo razširiti tekmovanja iz Legobuma tudi na pete in šeste razrede, organizirati posebno »low cost« robotsko tekmovanje ter plesno tekmovanje robotov.

Abstract
Contemporary information and communication technology is a welcome help for spreading information and teaching. This article presents how the information communication technology helps spreading the knowledge of optional subjects Robotics in technics and Electronics with robotics.

Legomindstorms system was used as a didactically good solution and at the same time the Lego system has also an affordable price. The heart of Legomindstorms system is a mini computer called RCX that is the brain of the Legomindstorms system. Using RCX and sensors a robot that reacts to the environment could be build. RCX could be programmed with SIMBot or any other more demanding programming environment.

Teachers, pupils and their parents were asked to participate at school, regional and national competitions called LegoBum, problem oriented technical days and seminars for young people and adults.

In the project topics covered in the text-books as well as additional and special knowledge was supported by the Web. Some secondary schools use the mentioned web page and the Legomindstorms system uses it to promote technical professions as well as to support learning of Mechatronics. Due to these facts the project was very successful.

In the next two years it is desired that Legobum competitions would be extended and would include pupils from class 5 and 6 of primary school, and that a special »low cost« robot competition and a robot dancing competition would be organised.
